  "summary": "Carbon credits could potentially add 10% to 20% to the revenues of qualifying low-carbon investments in Pakistan, according to Khurram Lalani, the CEO of climate finance firm Resources Future. Carbon credits, or carbon offsets, are certificates that represent the reduction or removal of one tonne of CO2e from the atmosphere and can be earned through various environmentally friendly projects, including renewable energy, electric vehicles, battery storage, and agriculture. Pakistan is currently developing its carbon market as part of its efforts to meet climate commitments, attract green investment, and transition towards a low-carbon economy. Lalani emphasizes that carbon credits can be seen as a commodity, similar to gold or silver, and can provide an additional monetisation stream for businesses investing in green projects, helping them recover operating and maintenance costs while improving overall project economics.",
